Abstract

A hard disk drive and a flash memory have become high capacity, so that we are now in the situation where a lot of TV programs can be recorded. However, while convenient, it is not easy to watch all the recorded programs in a limited time. Therefore, an efficient TV browsing application is needed. In this paper, we propose a key frame detection method for TV news program to allow a viewer to efficiently browse TV news programs and/or particular TV news topics. Instead of using features specific to certain news topics, our proposal is to extract important features which are common to news topics, and to generally detect the unique key frame which best represents each news topic. We show the validity of our proposed method by a simulation experiment.
